Hi. Thanks for your reply. It was just a full install of 10.04LTS - no version upgrade or anything.

I think I 'fixed' the problem: I found another setting in the BIOS for USB enabling/disabling...

I have been running 10.04 LTS on some older hardware - for a long time everything was fine but now whenever I boot the computer I get an error message that begins with a string of numbers, which...

Hi: thank you for your replies.

omeomi - you know, I looked into that folder delete using srm with a -r and I thought I read that some files inside the top folder would not be removed and...

Hello. Go 49ers!

I want to overwrite a folder and its contents many times. Overwriting files in Ubuntu is easy - I can use 'shred' or 'srm'. [I have secure-delete and shred installed.] I can go...

So, I feel like a dope. But I thought I should come back and say I solved the problem. Yeah, just like that.

For whatever reason, I went to System>Administration>Additional Drivers

Hi. I am here and I am pretty fed up. I installed 11.04 pretty much when it came out last year (2011) on a Lenovo notebook and for more than a year everything worked.

Then, I imagine after some...

If the folder you want to open is in the folder where you are located, you simply do a




cd Videos



because you don't need to tell the computer where to find the folder.

Well, this is just part of the basics to check out but try update Grub or Grub2, as in:




#sudo update-grub

#sudo update-grub2

I use Clonezilla to back up or copy a hard drive or partition and I think - using...

.....they gave you a link to d/l the software - or I assume it is the same although it is called 'cineplay'

it is source code so you'd need to compile yourself but that is not a big deal.

Hi - I have had similar problems recently with a Lenovo notebook. I can connect fine on my home network but at a public wifi spot - even though the network is recognized, I cannot get the notebook to...

Applications>Accessories>Archive Manager

There is one more thing I can think of:

If you have an iso file on a cd or dvd, or wherever, you can use the archive program in Ubuntu to pretty much just rip all the files onto a (fill in the...

Clonezilla live will copy a drive/partition (your choice) sector by sector - so it's not really whether it can *create* a Windows clone or not - Clonezilla doesn't care; it just copies the info on a...

So, first, are you really trying to connect via a VPN? Or is this just a home network thing?

Also, in the upper task bar if you left click on the icon for wireless connectivity, does it list any...

Great to hear.

Hope it didn't take you until this past Spring!!

thanks for your reply. I did as you suggested - and picked a package to install and it went fine. although it wasn't an update from ubuntu it was a new package so I'll have to check the next time the...

hi - running 8.04 lts

When I update/upgrade my installation I get a lot of output to the effect of

dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `openoffice.org-impress' missing, assuming...

Hi - I feel kind of silly about this but I cannot get the sound to work again on gnometris. The sound seems to work on everything else . . . I almost never play games but this is kind of annoying.

I am running 8.04LTS and have been for more than a year. In the past couple of days, the screen saver quit working and...

Hi. I have a music collection on a hard drive - all under the directory /music1 - and this is hundreds of cds, most with cover art.

I want to pull copies of all the cover art in the numerous...

I realize this problem has been *resolved*, however I thought it might be useful for someone in the future to know this:

I've had the same problems as dhochmuth with the same equipment, i.e. the...

Hi:

I have an desktop which pretty much does nothing but run Squeezecenter software which allows me to play music from that computer on any other computer, etc.

Squeezecenter is today known as...
